Note di degustazione
Predictably, this displays riper scents and flavors – predominantly of white peach and Persian melon wreathed in lily-of-the-valley and honeysuckle – than do any of the other Bassermann-Jordan Grosse Gewächse. There is not the decadence or muskiness that I often associate with this great site, but instead cooling, high-toned green herbal essences that emphasize Kirchenstück’s kinship with adjacent Jesuitengarten. The feel here is seductively creamy, while the finish benefits from an animating injection of brightly fresh lime, lingering with generous juiciness and complex layering of floral, herbal, fruity and mineral elements, the latter including stoniness and mouthwatering salinity.

Fennel, aniseed and something that smells suspiciously like oak. On the palate, I do have some passion fruit down for this, a hint of mandarin too, but the greatest impact comes from the combination of velvety texture and sweet spices, which almost overwhelms the palate in a seductive burgundian way. Rich and full-bodied, but not Riesling as I know it. The times they are a-changin! (MS)
